Giovanni Grancino violins

Remembered as one of the finest Milanese makers of his time, Giovanni Grancino’s work is widely recognised as having its own unique style with unmistakable Amati influences. Grancino started out as a pupil of his father, Andrea Grancino, but went on to exceed his father’s abilities and shortly after became an independent luthier, making violins and cellos of an exceptional quality.

The work of Giovanni Grancino has certainly stood the test of time and his instruments are greatly admired for their distinct ‘Grancino character’, fine golden-yellow varnish, reliable craftsmanship and powerful tone. Musicians from all over the world hold Giovanni Grancino violins in high regard due to their clear and balanced tone which makes them the perfect performance instrument.
